I really hope MS doesn’t take a laissez faire attitude with Act-Blizz and actually take a real hands on approach. I know they’re not the best at handling things but there has to be some type of change for their studio.

Ironically the one thing MS seems to be great at is managing game companies. Granted, that’s by usually just leaving them the hell alone, so yea, im hoping they fire all the higher ups at activision and hand it to one of their other game companies

Which companies have they been great at managing?

I may have made my point badly, they are great at managing their gaming properties by not managing them. They usually just buy the company and let the people that made the game studio great keep doing what they do.

As opposed to someone like EA which takes the studio down to a BDSM basement and violates them like they are in a snuff film

Maybe they'll take care of the unending copy pasted walls of racial slurs in HoTS.
